Dennis Williams is the new president of the United Auto Workers Union, and members appear to be very optimistic about the leadership.
Detroit News business columnist Daniel Howes told Stateside that the union views Williams as somebody who can be an innovative bargainer and bring a new perspective.
Howes in his column today said that Dennis Williams has his work cut out for him to correct the mistakes of his predecessor, Bob King.
Williams is the first UAW president who never headed one of union’s main three departments: Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. He is also the first who has never worked in an auto plant.
